Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1.  Background

Unifi, Inc., a New York corporation formed in 1969 (together with its subsidiaries, “UNIFI,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”), is a multi-national company that manufactures and sells innovative synthetic and recycled products made from polyester and nylon primarily to other yarn manufacturers and knitters and weavers that produce fabric for the apparel, hosiery, home furnishings, automotive, industrial and other end-use markets. Polyester yarns include partially oriented yarn (“POY”), textured, solution and package dyed, twisted, beamed and draw wound yarns, and each is available in virgin or recycled varieties. Recycled solutions, made from both pre-consumer and post-consumer waste, include plastic bottle flake and polyester polymer beads (“Chip”).  Nylon products include textured, solution dyed and spandex covered yarns.

UNIFI maintains one of the textile industry’s most comprehensive yarn product offerings that include specialized yarns, premium value-added (“PVA”) yarns and commodity yarns, with principal geographic markets in the Americas and Asia.  

UNIFI has manufacturing operations in four countries and participates in joint ventures in Israel and the United States, the most significant of which is a 34% non-controlling partnership interest in Parkdale America, LLC (“PAL”), a producer of cotton and synthetic yarns for sale to the global textile industry and apparel market.     

2.  Basis of Presentation; Condensed Notes

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. As contemplated by the instructions of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to Form 10-Q, the following notes have been condensed and, therefore, do not contain all disclosures required in connection with annual financial statements.  Reference should be made to UNIFI’s year-end audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 25, 2017 (the “2017 Form 10-K”).

The financial information included in this report has been prepared by UNIFI, without audit.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which consist of normal, recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair statement of the results for interim periods have been included.  Nevertheless, the results shown for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year.  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make use of estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and certain financial statement disclosures.  Actual results may vary from these estimates.

All amounts, except per share amounts, are presented in thousands (000s), except as otherwise noted.

The fiscal quarter for Unifi, Inc. and its subsidiary in El Salvador ended on March 25, 2018, the last Sunday in March. The fiscal quarter for Unifi, Inc.’s Brazilian, Chinese, Colombian and Sri Lankan subsidiaries ended on March 31, 2018.  There were no significant transactions or events that occurred between Unifi, Inc.’s fiscal quarter end and such wholly owned subsidiaries’ subsequent fiscal quarter end.  The three-month and nine-month periods ended March 25, 2018 and March 26, 2017 each consisted of 13 and 39 fiscal weeks, respectively.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications of prior years’ data have been made to conform to the current year presentation.

3.  Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Issued and Pending Adoption

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). Subsequent ASUs have been issued to provide clarity and defer the effective date of the new guidance. The new revenue recognition standard eliminates the transaction- and industry-specific revenue recognition guidance under current GAAP and replaces it with a principles-based approach. While UNIFI has not yet determined the effect of the new guidance on its ongoing financial reporting, UNIFI notes the following considerations: (i) UNIFI is primarily engaged in the business of manufacturing and delivering tangible products utilizing relatively straightforward contract terms without multiple performance obligations and (ii) transaction prices for UNIFI’s primary and material revenue activities are determinable and lack significant timing considerations. UNIFI is currently performing the following activities regarding implementation of the new guidance: (a) reviewing material contracts and (b) assessing accounting policy elections and disclosures under the new guidance. In addition, implementation matters remaining include (x) evaluating the systems and processes to support revenue recognition and (y) selecting the method of adoption. The new revenue recognition guidance is effective for UNIFI’s fiscal 2019.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The new guidance is intended to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. While UNIFI has not yet determined the full effect of the new guidance on its ongoing financial reporting, as of June 25, 2017, UNIFI had approximately $6,400 of future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable operating leases (with initial or remaining lease terms in excess of one year) and did not enter into any new material operating lease agreements during the nine months ended March 25, 2018. The new lease guidance is effective for UNIFI’s fiscal 2020, and early adoption is permitted.

In connection with the SEC Staff Announcement on July 20, 2017 relating to the transition to ASU No. 2014-09 and ASU No. 2016-02, due to its status as a significant subsidiary of Unifi, Inc., PAL expects to adopt (i) the new revenue recognition guidance in its fiscal 2019 and (ii) the new lease guidance in its fiscal 2020.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

Recently Adopted

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. The ASU is intended to improve and simplify the rules around hedge accounting, reduce complexity for certain hedging concepts and better align financial reporting with an entity’s risk management activities. UNIFI early adopted ASU No. 2017-12 in the three months ended December 24, 2017. Early adoption will allow UNIFI to (i) eliminate consideration for hedge ineffectiveness, (ii) utilize a qualitative effectiveness assessment prospectively and (iii) contemplate hedge accounting for additional risk management activities allowed by the simplified guidance. Due to a lack of complexity in UNIFI’s recent risk management activities, there are no applicable cumulative adjustments to UNIFI’s financial statements in connection with adoption of the ASU.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. The ASU is intended to clarify the definition of a business and reduce the complexity of evaluating transactions that are more akin to asset acquisitions. UNIFI early adopted ASU No. 2017-01 in the three months ended March 25, 2018. There are no current period or historical adjustments to UNIFI’s financial statements required in connection with adoption of the ASU. Any transaction that is required to be evaluated under the ASU is accounted for prospectively.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The ASU includes multiple provisions intended to simplify various aspects of the accounting for share-based payments, including the accounting and classification of the respective income tax impacts, forfeitures and statutory withholding requirements. UNIFI adopted the ASU in the three months ended September 24, 2017, on a prospective basis. The adoption resulted in a $214 decrease to the provision for income taxes for excess tax benefits and an immaterial increase in potential dilutive weighted average shares for the nine months ended March 25, 2018. In connection with the adoption of the ASU, UNIFI has elected to recognize forfeitures as they occur, and there is no corresponding retrospective adjustment to retained earnings. Additionally, UNIFI is presenting the change in classification of excess tax benefits in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows on a prospective basis.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory, which modifies the subsequent measurement of inventories recorded under a first-in, first-out or average cost method. Under the new standard, such inventories are required to be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. UNIFI adopted the ASU in the three months ended September 24, 2017, with prospective application. UNIFI’s historical principles for inventory measurement had utilized net realizable value, and, therefore, adoption of the ASU had no material impact on UNIFI’s consolidated financial statements.

Based on UNIFI’s review of ASUs issued since the filing of the 2017 Form 10-K, there have been no other newly issued or newly applicable accounting pronouncements that have had, or are expected to have, a significant impact on UNIFI’s consolidated financial statements.

Debt Obligations

The following table presents the total balances outstanding for UNIFI’s debt obligations, their scheduled maturity dates and the weighted average interest rates for borrowings as well as the applicable current portion of long-term debt:

ABL Facility

On March 26, 2015, Unifi, Inc. and its subsidiary, Unifi Manufacturing, Inc., entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement for a $200,000 senior secured credit facility (the “ABL Facility”) with a syndicate of lenders.  The ABL Facility consists of a $100,000 revolving credit facility (the “ABL Revolver”) and a term loan that can be reset up to a maximum amount of $100,000, once per fiscal year, if certain conditions are met (the “ABL Term Loan”). The ABL Facility has a maturity date of March 26, 2020.

Scheduled Debt Maturities

The following table presents the scheduled maturities of UNIFI’s outstanding debt obligations for the remainder of fiscal 2018 and the fiscal years thereafter:

9.  Other Long-Term Liabilities

Other long-term liabilities consists of the following:

Other primarily includes UNIFI’s unfunded supplemental key employee post-employment plan, certain retiree and post-employment medical and disability liabilities, deferred revenue and deferred energy incentive credits.

10.  Income Taxes

The provision (benefit) for income taxes was as follows:

H.R. 1, formerly known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, was enacted on December 22, 2017.  H.R. 1 includes significant changes to existing tax law, including a permanent reduction to the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%, a one-time mandatory deemed repatriation of foreign earning and profits (the “toll charge”), deductions, credits and business-related exclusions.

8

Unifi, Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

The permanent reduction to the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% was effective January 1, 2018. When a U.S. federal tax rate change occurs during a fiscal year, taxpayers are required to compute a weighted daily average rate for the fiscal year of enactment. As a result of H.R. 1, UNIFI has calculated a U.S. federal corporate income tax rate of 28.27% for its fiscal 2018 tax year.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 25, 2018 is higher than the U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to an increase in the valuation allowance for the Company’s investment in PAL, the rate change impact on a U.S. net loss carryforward generated in the current period that will be used at a lower tax rate in the future, and additional limitations on the deductibility of compensation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended (the “IRC”).

The effective tax rate for the nine months ended March 25, 2018 is lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to the one-time tax benefit resulting from the revaluation of UNIFI’s domestic deferred tax balances for the lower U.S. statutory tax rate, the release of a valuation allowance on certain historical net operating losses (“NOLs”) and foreign income being taxed at lower rates. These benefits were partially offset by a provisional amount for the toll charge, net of foreign tax credits, and losses in tax jurisdictions for which no tax benefit can currently be recognized.

The effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended March 26, 2017 are lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to foreign income being taxed at lower rates and a decrease in the valuation allowance for the Company’s investment in PAL, partially offset by losses in tax jurisdictions for which no tax benefit could be recognized and state and local income taxes net of federal benefits. Additionally, the effective tax rates for the three months and nine months ended March 26, 2017 include the benefit of increased research and development credits, partially offset by a corresponding reduction in the domestic production activities deduction.

UNIFI revalued its measurable deferred tax balances based upon the new tax rate at which the temporary differences and carryforwards are expected to reverse. UNIFI recorded a tax benefit of approximately $4,500 as a result of the net change in deferred tax balances. UNIFI determined that the impact of the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate change on the U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities is provisional because the number cannot be calculated until the underlying timing differences are known rather than estimated.

Specific to the toll charge, UNIFI has recorded a $1,600 provisional charge, net of foreign tax credits, based on the following estimates: (i) earnings and profits of foreign jurisdictions that will not be complete until the end of fiscal 2018, (ii) the aggregate cash position at June 24, 2018 and (iii) finalization of taxes paid in foreign jurisdictions. Additionally, the estimates have been made based on UNIFI’s interpretation of H.R. 1. The U.S. Treasury has indicated in Notice 2018-07 and Notice 2018-26 that it expects to issue further guidance to clarify certain technical aspects of H.R. 1, which could impact UNIFI’s computations and provisional amounts recorded.  

During the three months ended March 25, 2018, UNIFI recorded a $100 decrease to the provisional amount of the toll charge, net of foreign tax credits and valuation allowance, which created an effective rate benefit of less than one percent. The measurement period adjustments are primarily due to refined estimates based on guidance issued by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and the U.S. Treasury during the quarter.

Within the calculation of the annual effective tax rate, UNIFI has used assumptions and estimates that may change as a result of future guidance, interpretation, and rulemaking from the Internal Revenue Service, the SEC, the FASB and/or various other taxing authorities. For example, UNIFI anticipates that state taxing authorities will continue to determine and announce their conformity to H.R. 1 which could have an impact on UNIFI’s annual effective tax rate.

UNIFI continues to review the anticipated impacts of the global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) and base erosion anti-abuse tax (“BEAT”), which are not effective until fiscal 2019. UNIFI has not recorded any impact associated with either GILTI or BEAT.

UNIFI has recorded all known and estimable impacts of H.R. 1 that are effective for fiscal 2018. Future adjustments to the provisional numbers will be recorded as discrete adjustments to income tax expense in the period in which those adjustments become estimable and/or are finalized.

UNIFI regularly assesses the outcomes of both completed and ongoing examinations to ensure that UNIFI’s provision for income taxes is sufficient. Certain returns that remain open to examination have utilized carryforward tax attributes generated in prior tax years, including NOLs, which could potentially be revised upon examination.  

UNIFI also regularly assesses whether it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all of its deferred tax assets will not be realized.  UNIFI considers the scheduled reversal of taxable temporary differences, taxable income in carryback years, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.  Since UNIFI operates in multiple jurisdictions, the assessment is made on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis, taking into account the effects of local tax law.  Due to new facts and circumstances in the second quarter of fiscal 2018, UNIFI has determined it can utilize certain NOLs to offset future taxable income and has reduced the corresponding valuation allowance by $3,807.  There was also a reduction to valuation allowances on U.S. deferred tax assets in the prior quarter as a result of the lower U.S. statutory tax rate under H.R. 1. UNIFI has increased the valuation allowance for foreign tax credits generated by the toll charge that cannot be claimed in the year of the mandatory repatriation.

The components of UNIFI’s deferred tax valuation allowance are as follows:

11.  Shareholders’ Equity

No dividends were paid during the nine months ended March 25, 2018 or in the two most recently completed fiscal years.

12.  Stock-Based Compensation

The following table provides information as of March 25, 2018 with respect to the number of securities remaining available for future issuance under the Unifi, Inc. 2013 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2013 Plan”):

During the nine months ended March 25, 2018 and March 26, 2017, UNIFI granted stock options to purchase 73 and 128 shares of common stock, respectively.

During the nine months ended March 25, 2018 and March 26, 2017, UNIFI granted 116 and 31 restricted stock units (“RSUs”), respectively.

13.  Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Non-Financial Assets and Liabilities

UNIFI may use derivative financial instruments such as foreign currency forward contracts or interest rate swaps to reduce its ongoing business exposures to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates or interest rates.  UNIFI does not enter into derivative contracts for speculative purposes. The following table presents details regarding UNIFI’s hedging activities:

For the nine months ended March 25, 2018 and March 26, 2017, there were no significant changes to UNIFI’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value, and there were no transfers into or out of the levels of the fair value hierarchy.

UNIFI believes that there have been no significant changes to its credit risk profile or the interest rates available to UNIFI for debt issuances with similar terms and average maturities, and UNIFI estimates that the fair values of its debt obligations approximate the carrying amounts.  Other financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses.  The financial statement carrying amounts of these items approximate the fair value due to their short-term nature.

14.  Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

The components of and the changes in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, as applicable, consist of the following:

A summary of the after-tax effects of the components of other comprehensive income, net for the three-month and nine-month periods ended March 25, 2018 and March 26, 2017 is included in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

15.  Earnings Per Share

The components of the calculation of earnings per share (“EPS”) are as follows:

The calculation of EPS is based on the weighted average number of Unifi, Inc.’s common shares outstanding for the applicable period.  The calculation of diluted EPS presents the effect of all potential dilutive common shares that were outstanding during the respective period, unless the effect of doing so is anti-dilutive.

16.  Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates and Variable Interest Entities

UNIFI currently maintains investments in three entities classified as unconsolidated affiliates: PAL; U.N.F. Industries, Ltd. (“UNF”); and UNF America LLC (“UNFA”). As of March 25, 2018, UNIFI’s investment in PAL was $109,440 and UNIFI’s combined investments in UNF and UNFA were $2,809, each of which is reflected within investments in unconsolidated affiliates in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Parkdale America, LLC

PAL is a limited liability company treated as a partnership for income tax reporting purposes.  UNIFI accounts for its investment in PAL using the equity method of accounting.  PAL is subject to price risk related to anticipated fixed-price yarn sales.  To protect the gross margin of these sales, PAL may enter into cotton futures to manage changes in raw material prices.  The derivative instruments used are listed and traded on an exchange and are valued using quoted prices classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.  As of March 2018, PAL had no futures contracts designated as cash flow hedges.

The reconciliation between UNIFI’s share of the underlying equity of PAL and its investment is as follows:

U.N.F. Industries, Ltd.

Raw material and production services for UNF are provided by Nilit Ltd. under separate supply and services agreements.  UNF’s fiscal year end is December 31, and it is a registered Israeli private company located in Migdal Ha-Emek, Israel.

UNF America LLC

Raw material and production services for UNFA are provided by Nilit America Inc. under separate supply and services agreements.  UNFA’s fiscal year end is December 31, and it is a limited liability company treated as a partnership for income tax reporting purposes located in Ridgeway, Virginia.

In conjunction with the formation of UNFA, UNIFI entered into a supply agreement with UNF and UNFA whereby UNIFI agreed to purchase all of its first quality nylon POY requirements for texturing (subject to certain exceptions) from either UNF or UNFA.  The agreement has no stated minimum purchase

Unifi, Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

quantities and pricing is negotiated every six months, based on market rates.  As of March 25, 2018, UNIFI’s open purchase orders related to this agreement were $5,686.

UNIFI’s raw material purchases under this supply agreement consist of the following:

As of March 25, 2018 and June 25, 2017, UNIFI had combined accounts payable due to UNF and UNFA of $2,692 and $2,301, respectively.

UNIFI has determined that UNF and UNFA are variable interest entities (“VIEs”) and UNIFI is the primary beneficiary of these entities, based on the terms of the supply agreement discussed above.  As a result, these entities should be consolidated with UNIFI’s financial results.  As UNIFI purchases substantially all of the output from the two entities, the two entities’ balance sheets constitute 3% or less of UNIFI’s current assets, total assets and total liabilities and because such balances are not expected to comprise a larger portion in the future, UNIFI has not included the accounts of UNF and UNFA in its consolidated financial statements.  The financial results of UNF and UNFA are included in UNIFI’s consolidated financial statements with a one-month lag, using the equity method of accounting and with intercompany profits eliminated in accordance with UNIFI’s accounting policy.  Other than the supply agreement discussed above, UNIFI does not provide any other commitments or guarantees related to either UNF or UNFA.

Condensed balance sheet and income statement information for UNIFI’s unconsolidated affiliates (including reciprocal balances) is presented in the tables below.  PAL is defined as significant and its information is separately disclosed. PAL does not meet the criteria for segment reporting.
